Lady Driver: Mit voller Fahrt ins Leben

It is a simple film, it is an 'empowerment movie' (which can go either way), and yes it does have questionable morals alongside a few moments of character inconsistency. However, I found all of that forgivable and the movie enjoyable.

Despite inevitable movie conveniences and inaccuracies I felt they had made enough effort to make the environments and themes believable. I grew up in similar environments and have relatable experiences. It's a typical modern content feeder movie, but one that doesn't leave you feeling entirely hollow as many do.

Just be prepared to forgive some of the dialogue.

"Lady Driver" (PG, 104 min) is typical silly Netflix film with no substance, unbelievable story, predictable script and bland ending. Actually, it is tiresomely formulaic and fractionally patronizing movie about dirt-mud racing and female empowerment. As movie endeavor, it was quite disappointing. I didn't turned this off after 20 minutes - as I'm usually doing with similar movies - just because of cute Grace Van Dien in leading role.

Rating: 5-/4+

I think that some viewers gave this movie an unfair rating. It was good and entertaining and yes you probably knew what the outcome would be. Ellie and her mother finally understood each other towards the end and worked out their differences. I thought the actors in this movie were pretty good. If you like movies like this one, i recommend watching it.

Very predictable story line. Acting was ok but more like a made for TV movie. Expect no surprises and you won't be too disappointed. You won't get the need for speed though

Grace Van Dien is impossibly cute and does a nice job in this simple but enjoyable family movie. If you think of this as 'Lizzie McGuire Goes Racing' you are going to be very satisfied. If you think it's going to be some kind of an Atomic Blonde action movie, how did you get there? It's a free (with subscription), PG, family, Netflix movie - it is exactly what most would think it would be.
